    Still 2013………:(

  • thehulk1969 on 07/10/2015 - 15:26

    Just to clarify Version 2013 showing on page, because of time zones the USA is still showing the 6th October. Would suggest waiting until the US ticks over to the 7th October. I bought 2013 and will buy 2016 tomorrow at that price.

    • bonezAU on 07/10/2015 - 15:29

      Yup, it's still 9:30pm on the 6th in California, but it has already clocked over past midnight in Washington DC. Who knows what timezone they are using… obviously not Redmond.

      • ShhImInClass on 07/10/2015 - 15:32

        Considering that Microsoft is located in Washington, it's probably a good guess that they're going by Pacific (West Coast) time

        Microsoft is in Redmond, Washington state, not Washington DC!

        • bonezAU on 07/10/2015 - 15:39

          Yes, so that means 3pm AWST / 6pm AEDST

        • cappie on 07/10/2015 - 15:45

          I believe so, as per my post of 9:11am today.

      Out of curiousity, has anyone seen and verified where the OP Fozzie obtained this information about Office 2016 (hotukdeals)?

    • MikeKulls on 08/10/2015 - 10:47

      The icon is for office 2013 but the text says 2016. It looks like an error in the page. When you go to checkout it shows correctly as 2016

    • pvharibabu on 08/10/2015 - 14:19

    Came across this while looking at the HUP site:

    HUP IS GETTING READY FOR OFFICE 2016!

    Thanks for visiting the Microsoft HUP Marketing Portal. We' re getting ready for the Office 2016 HUP launch so the site is under construction until 10/14/2015 9:30 am PST. Please come back and visit us!

    So it looks like we may need to wait another week!

    Found when i clicked the marketing link https://marketing.microsofthup.com/

    • cappie on 07/10/2015 - 19:54

      This equates to 3:30am Thursday 15 Oct for Vic/NSW.

    For those that added their email address to the Australian webpage, you can reapply with the NZ webpage and pay the cheaper price as I did that this morning and it downloaded fine.

    Might as well save about $5 or so!

    • thehulk1969 on 08/10/2015 - 09:40

      i bought on AU website then tried NZ web and said already purchased…

      • Mattycee on 08/10/2015 - 09:43

        It had to be before you bought it. I added my email address but had not purchased it yet and it linked me to the Australian webpage. I re-added the address this morning after changing the country to NZ and it let me buy it for $9.00 AUD.

        • thehulk1969 on 08/10/2015 - 09:48

          thought so…

          In payment section
          With Aussie Address but Country drpdown was still NZ

        • spackbace on 08/10/2015 - 11:48

          @SlipKnot:

          Yep that's correct, NZ$10 = ~AUD$9.20

          And just proceed as Country - NZ, and it will go through fine.

      But it asks for a New Zealand billing address.

      Did you provide a fake NZ address? That might upset the credit card verification.

    or

    Its for Office 365 though
    http://microsoftlivesupport.com/blog/post/office-error-code-…

    Could be because of 2 issues
    Most likely if you have recently upgraded your OS (disk clean)
    You have previous versions installed (uninstalled)

    • Economical on 08/10/2015 - 16:20

      Hi

      I wish to confirm how did you get 64 bit version? The link that I get says it is x86 and not x64. :(

      Thanks

      Ok ! Thanks! Got it now…

      • SchroederCat on 08/10/2015 - 16:30

        Once you have purchased the product
        click on download option, gives you both 86 and 64bit to choose

  • Saiya on 08/10/2015 - 10:49

    How do you purchase? Not sure if there system is a bit overloaded and I am not seeing everything on the page?

    I see a button named 'Available Office Products' which does not do anything once pressed.

    Underneath I see a section 'additional products'.

    • huhuu77 on 08/10/2015 - 16:58

      Me too, I cant do anything, just see 'Available Office Products'

      I try IE and Chrome, doesnt work both.

  • noise36 on 08/10/2015 - 10:51

    Can anyone confirm if it allows multiple installs ?

    Not concerned with t&c I mean will it allow it to install on a second device and download updates.

    Edit: damn should have purchased via NZ site.

    • virtualds on 08/10/2015 - 14:47

      yes, conformed on 2 devices - PC & Lappy. I will also install third one on another lappy. Will let you know how I go this weekend

      • Overtime2000 on 08/10/2015 - 15:20

        I'm sure it will install fine. But the question is - is it violating the T&Cs?

      • lolmao on 08/10/2015 - 16:55

        anyone know if it will work on one Mac and one PC?

        • Overtime2000 on 08/10/2015 - 16:56

          U can only buy one.
          If you have 2 email addresses, then you could buy 2 I suppose.

        • lolmao on 08/10/2015 - 18:50

          @Overtime2000: I mean ignoring the T&C's, and assuming licenses work on 2 machines as per above comment, will it work on a mac and a pc - are the serials actually PC/Mac specific or would they work on both?

          @lolmao:

          You can install PC serial on 2 PC's (ignoring their T&C's)
          But not cross over the same serial to Mac

  • bonezAU on 08/10/2015 - 10:56

    This is only for 1 PC, not 2 as mentioned in the OP.

    It says in the FAQ that you can install it on one device.

    • noise36 on 08/10/2015 - 11:49

      That doesn't actually confirm if its possible or not though.

  • Economical on 08/10/2015 - 13:37

    Can anyone recommend how to get the file instead direct install to my system. It comes handy for future as well. Internet speed is an issue at my place and paying $22 for CD is rip off too when you get a software in $15. Thanks

  • tight-ass on 08/10/2015 - 22:18

    Just finished installing the 64 bit version for my PC.

    One thing I noticed was that I was unable to open any email messages that I had stored on my PC (in explorer) as Outlook wouldn't recognise them.

    After a quick search and to save anyone else the same hassle of trying to figure it out (seems to be a fairly common bug), you need to 'Repair' Office 2016 by going control panel > programs & features and select office 2016 in the list and click on 'change' and select 'quick repair'

  • 1bug on 08/10/2015 - 22:38

    For those not aware, the 32-bit version of Office can be installed on either 32-bit or 64-bit versions of Windows.

    Choose the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Office

  • noise36 on 09/10/2015 - 22:18

    FYI - you can only activate a few times, possibly three, but not 100% sure as I uninstalled once then could do it twice.

    • 1bug on 10/10/2015 - 11:20

      Don't know about activation timeframes.

      In case you didn't know, you can install Office 2016 on Windows 7, 8/8.1 or 10.

  • Bappy on 10/10/2015 - 16:23

    Is there any way to download the full installer file? (So I could save/install for future and doesn't have to download twice for the 2nd PC)

    • 1bug on 10/10/2015 - 17:37

      The official Microsoft ISO for Office Professional Plus 2016 includes both 32 & 64-bit versions (x86 & x64) and is 2.26 GB in size.
      Details can be found at the MSDN link below …click on the <DETAILS> tab for the checksum/hash value (SHA1)

      https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/downloads/#se…

      Because of the size, it may be quicker to download the 32 or 64-bit version twice rather than download the ISO.
      However, if you want to download the ISO, I found a copy below:
      (NOTE: To ensure the download hasn't been tampered with, you should VERIFY the checksum/hash of the downloaded file against the official Micosoft SHA1 hash provided above)

      https://mega.nz/#!pdxgjQ7Y!TWM20LDKj9DXZU3BvsKrMTqvaj2bzq2LA…

      I've downloaded the ISO file and found that it matches the SHA1 hash, however, you should verify this for yourself.
      After downloading, you need to mount the ISO or burn it to a DVD or USB drive. I haven't tested the ISO yet.

      The hash check utility I use on Win7 is HashCheck Shell Extension (there are others available)
      http://code.kliu.org/hashcheck/

      • Economical on 11/10/2015 - 05:54

        Great! but I get the message "There is no subscription associated with your Microsoft account. Add a subscription to this account." This is bizarre as I am using my Office (Though MAC version) atm and that needed logging into microsoft account prior to starting them. Does that imply I need to install this (Win) as well first, configure it with my microsoft account first then download for future reference? Any work around?

        Thanks!

        • 1bug on 11/10/2015 - 11:32

          Are you trying to download the ISO from the MSDN link? If so, you can't (unless you have an MSDN subscription). The link to MSDN is intended for info only (namely, the checksum/hash value: SHA1).

          You need to download the ISO from the 2nd mega.nz link (copy URL into your browser). After downloading, you then verify the authenticity of the file using the SHA1 info from MSDN.

        • Economical on 11/10/2015 - 18:58

          @1bug: Thank you so much! I got it now.:)

      • 1bug on 13/10/2015 - 14:34

        I burned the ISO to a DVD and installed Office 2016 32-bit successfully.
        I also copied the contents of the DVD to a USB Drive and tried to install from USB, but the setup failed (program started then unexpectedly terminated).

        Notes:
        - The DVD automatically installs the 32-bit version unless you already have a 64-bit version of Office on your PC.
        - To install 64-bit Office, cancel the autoplay setup then go to the "Office" folder and double-click setup64.exe
        - On first run of an Office app, it prompts for the Product Key.
